I used Basic MSI Project to install the application called CRMS.
In the previous vesion install (CRMS 9.00), that created entry 'CRMS' in Add or Remove Programs.
When I install new version CRMS 9.10, that created another entry 'CRMS' in Add or Remove Programs.
I want to remove the old entry.
I checked the registry there is entry for CRMS 9.00 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{41E2C75F-2E42-4881-A616-3A59CA35092A}.

I created the a row in RemoveRegistry table and put value like this

Remove Registry : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Root: 2
Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{41E2C75F-2E42-4881-A616-3A59CA35092A}
Name: "-"
Component: AppExecutables

I think this should be working, But NOT.
Could someone help me?
Thanks a lot

It must be the name of a component (which exists in the component table). When the specified component gets installed, the registry entry should get deleted.
